Sunshine Ricotta Pancakes with Strawberries image

After a long winter these pancakes are a welcome ray of sunshine. When my children were little & we ate the lemon pancakes, my son could not pronounce the words lemon ricotta; so he called them sunshine pancakes. And that has been their name ever since. Seems appropriate :)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cup(s) flour
3 1/2 tablespoon(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) ricotta cheese
1 - egg
3 - egg whites
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/2 cup(s) fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon(s) lemon zest
1 tablespoon(s) oil
2 cup(s) sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup(s) maple syrup

Steps:

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together ricotta cheese, whole egg, egg whites, vanilla, lemon juice, zest and oil. Whisk until well combined.
  • Gently fold the ricotta mixture into the dry ingredients.
  • Do not over mix. Batter will be thick.
  • Heat griddle, spray with a non stick cooking spray.
  • Spoon approximately a 1/3 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until browned and beginning to set, approximately 2 minutes. Flip pancakes, cook on the other side. Repeat, until batter is gone
  • Top with a small pat of butter, sliced strawberries and just a little maple syrup
  • ** These sunshine pancakes are puffy & light & have a wonderful refreshing taste of lemon. The addition of the fresh berries and just a drizzle of maple syrup makes these pancakes our all time favorite. I hope you enjoy them too
